We developed new seat evaluation methods based 
                                on the interaction between the human body and 
                                the seat. First, for static sitting comfort, we 
                                established the seat compliance as a new evaluation 
                                index by using the human body pressure distribution 
                                that is calculated by dividing the seat into 16 
                                segments and observed the seat deformation. Secondly, 
                                for the dynamic riding comfort, the change in 
                                the body pressure distribution was selected as 
                                a new index. In the long-term sitting fatigue, 
                                physiological data such as stress hormone concentration 
                                and electromyogram were made available as indices. 
                                Finally, in order to quantify the conventional 
                                sensory evaluation, we carried out matching between 
                                our physical and physiological data and the subjective 
                                judgements.
